| I will do this thread in a FaQ style. Q: What is a deflector? A: a deflector is a shield made to keep particles from penetrating the hull of the ship by deflecting them. Q: Who uses deflectors? A: mainly Star Wars and Star Trek ships Star Wars uses them as a defense for battles, too. Star Trek has big deflector dishes: Stargate and BSG- ships may use them too but their canon sources don´t mention them. Q: What are you asking the Devs to implement? A: I actually want them not to implement something. Namely: Demage from micro-asteroids | |

| If your hull can withstand an impact of a highly charged plasma ball it should survive some micro debris... | |

Do you know what a piece of dust can do at high speeds? Alot. If ships go at any significant potion of C, microdebries will be a problem. | |

| I think you would have a special shield that takes no energy to deflect microdebris. Or, after every jump, you have to stop and repair your ship, like when traveling without shields in Spore. | |

A Plasma ball made of Gas with almost no mass ...For sure Plasma is made To melt The Ship Not To Break through it | |

| If you collide with a star, you're going to have a bad time.
I don't dislike the idea of deflector shields. If we have kinetic weapons available, it would make an interesting dynamic if deflectors were under more strain in areas with a lot of debris and therefore more susceptible to kinetic weaponry. A raiding party could exploit this by setting up snares in an asteroid belt and start raining tungsten down on their unsuspecting prey. | |
